Baristas at Pascal’s Coffeehouse engage in a fun and creative seasonal drink competition every spring and fall. This tradition allows baristas to showcase their skills and invent new drinks that capture the essence of the season. The winning drinks are then featured on the café's specialty menu. This year’s fall competition involved brainstorming, experimentation, and tasting sessions, leading to the selection of three standout drinks.
• The winning drink, Pecan Horchata, features infused whipped cream and a creamy cinnamon flavor.
• Spiced Apple Cappuccino mimics the taste of warm apple pie, while the Pomegranate Orange Matcha offers a fruity balance of tart and sweet.
• Baristas draw inspiration from coffee culture literature, pushing the boundaries of flavor with spices like cardamom and cinnamon.
• The café fosters a sense of community, blending hospitality with a commitment to quality coffee.
This competition not only highlights the creativity of the baristas but also strengthens the bonds within the team. It reflects the café's mission to create a welcoming environment for students and the community. As Pascal’s launches its new fall drinks, it continues to be a hub for friendship, creativity, and great coffee.
